The way I backup now looks like this:
- Nightly SuperDuper! clones of my laptop to an external drive.
- TimeMachine running to a I have a TimeCapsule.
- All “currently working files” stored in Dropbox.
- Automatic cloud backups of all my irreplaceable documents, photos, music, and application support folders.

Interesting to read how Shawn Blanc has just gone through exactly the same process that I went through last year, gratifyingly ending up with exactly the same backup system.
Like him I tried a number of cloud based back-up solutions to compliment my local back-ups, initially going with Backblaze before switching to Arq. I couldn't be happier and now have a fully automatic and redundant back-up system, combining two cloud based services (Dropbox and Amazon S3) with two local back-ups using Superduper and Time Machine.
There are a few others I also add to the mix as well but I won’t bore with the details. You know what they say? You can never have enough back-ups!
